Unfortunately this doesn't seem to give me any more info.

The log finishes with the messages

systemd_shutdown[1]: halting system
kvm: exiting hardware virtualisation
reboot: system halted

& just hangs

I'm not clear on the relevance of the kvm (as this is not a virtualised 
system) but there's nothing else obvious in the preceding log messages.
